Is it a good idea to visit Scotland (Edinburgh) during February? How’s the weather going to be? Is it worth?

Kanishk asked:


Is it going to be extremely cold and icy? Will there be any activities to do, except drink Scotch Whisky and stay indoors. LOL
If you can suggest some good websites for more information.

    The Scottish weather is infamous, might not be much better in the summer lol. You’d be better off in the summer, but have a look at Homecoming 2009 on Google. Lots of stuff happening over 2009 all over the country to celebrate Rabbie Burns’ 250th. So there might be something on later in the year you might not wanna miss.

    well, since I am Scottish and I live there all year round, I can say the weather in February is terrible. It’s best to avoid Scotland during winter months, and if possible the best time to visit is during summer, as it’s slightly warmer.

    During the winter, the chilliest months are December, January and February, with highest day temperatures characteristically around 5°C (41°F); and although at night it may fall to -4/5°C or lower, the temperature rarely stays below freezing during the day in wintertime. Btw. good choice for coming here in 2009 it’s home coming year, Rabbie Burns’ birthday have a look in their website lots of events happening all year round!

    Its Freezing, But you have just missed all the gorgeous snow lol.
    But you should come in summer time when it doesn’t rain so often(if we are lucky) !

    Right now it’s cold because it’s winter, so unless you like skiing then it’s best to go in the summer as it will give you more things to do. If you do plan to go in February then bring your scarf and gloves!

    Hope this helps. :-)
